About FLIPANY

Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth (FLIPANY)’s mission is to empower youth
and their families through physical activity and nutrition education programs while raising awareness
and creating policies for a healthier community. After fifteen years of experience teaching nutrition
and physical activity to youth, Lynne Kunins established FLIPANY as a 501c (3) non-profit organization
in 2005. She saw, first hand, the ill effects lack of access to nutrition and physical education had
on children who were living in low-income communities. Lynne developed FLIPANY to address the health
and education disparities in these underserved areas of Florida.

FLIPANY serves youth and families, including seniors, through collaborations with community centers,
parks, and other social services agencies. Our innovative programs fight childhood obesity and hunger
by focusing on healthy food preparation, food security, physical education and work-site wellness. Many
of our programs include on site food demonstrations, nutrition education and cooking classes. FLIPANY
is the lead Florida partner of the Share Our Strength’s Cooking Matters® Program, nationally sponsored
by the ConAgra Foods® Foundation and Wal-Mart. Cooking Matter’s collaborative program model connects
families with food by teaching them how to prepare healthy, tasty meals on a limited budget. Professional
chefs and nutritionists volunteer their time and expertise to lead hands-on courses that teach adults,
teens and youth how to purchase and prepare healthy foods in safe and tasty ways.
